I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music.

Instruments: Piano Violin Keyboard

I am somewhat flexible on books and methods, but unless my students have already invested time and money in a particular published method, I start them on the Bastien series, which is not too expensive and is well designed and effective. As they progress to intermediate, they will be expected to buy some classical music, collections, and technique books. In addition, I will write out some exercises and guiding information and instructions to assist them in their practice and approach to style and technique. Read More

Instruments: Piano Synthesizer Harmonica Recorder Keyboard

Each student has his profile, so I seek to adapt the methodology of teaching according to the individual needs and personal choices of each student. For beginners looking to learn to read sheet music, I usually adopt the books of Michael Aaron or James Bastien (for small children). For those students who wish to develop their musicality without reading shuffles, I teach through imitation learning, the development of auditory perception and creativity. Read More

I like playing games and playing through music with the student. I have flash cards, sometimes we play concentration, war, find it on the keyboard, spoons, relay races. We use gross motor skills, with big floor keyboard, dance, etc. Sometimes we do note speller things, technique learning from books. Sometimes I record them so they can see their own progress. We adjust, we just have fun.When they start spelling words with note names and are able to write and find them on the keyboard and on the staff, then we begin composing our own music. Read More

I encourage my students to practice smart instead of long. This is especially important for young students. I teach my students to self-evaluate their own playing. When difficult areas are recognized, this is where the practicing focus should be. Above all, music should be enjoyable! Hard work disguised as FUN is my goal. I am great at giving positive feedback. I enjoy celebrating success. I feel that it is important to let the student set the pace and then encourage from there. Read More
